After dealing with the giant centipede, the team did not encounter any threatening mutant creatures and successfully drilled out of the sewage discharge pipeline.

On the top of the sewage pipe is a large cutting machine with metal fan blades exceeding ten meters long. The garbage that cannot be recycled is compressed into pieces and transported here. The cutting machine cuts it into pieces and puts it into the sewage pipe, and then uses waste water to flush it to the bottom landfill.

The landfill is 260 meters from the surface, more than 60 meters deeper than the depth of the shelter No. 444. This is a naturally formed deep underground cave. It was originally a tributary of a underground river, but the groundwater in this river has been drained by the people in the shelter, and the remaining holes have been transformed into this landfill.

Qi Lin and the other two entered the landfill along the river channel of the underground river, and then passed through the nearly vertical sewage discharge pipe that was 70 meters long, and came to the current place.

This is a garbage disposal factory, but at this time the factory has stopped operating and the workers inside are gone. They can only be piled aside, and a large number of compressed garbage blocks that have not yet been processed.

However, it was precisely because of the shutdown of the garbage disposal plant that Qi Lin and the others were able to enter the shelter No. 444 from this hidden passage. Otherwise, let alone the sharp fan blades rotating at high speed, the garbage and wastewater that kept falling from the sky would be enough to make them unable to move forward.

"The workers here seem to have left..." No. 5 took off his dirty protective suit, took out a box from his close-fitting package, and quickly assembled an SRS sniper rifle.

"Isn't this nonsense you said?" Falcon gave him a blank look and took out his weapon - a pair of Gauss's assault pistols with a futuristic sci-fi atmosphere.

"However, first of all, we have to figure out whether the people here left by themselves or were taken away by others. This will also help us understand the current situation inside the 444 Shelter." No. 3 took over the conversation and said.

"Whether they left themselves or were taken away, this is abnormal..." said No. 4, the hacker. "I have participated in several rebellions, one of the largest rebellions was initiated by the commander of the shelter. In the early days of the rebellion, the rebels almost controlled the entire shelter..."

"Are you talking about the Refuge No. 188?" Qi Lin asked casually.

"Yes, that should be the most famous rebellion in recent times. Although the rebellion has many doubts, the organizations, shelter officials, and the consortium alliance have concealed a lot of intelligence and have very little public content, it is said that as far as we know, no matter what its purpose is, except for those who retaliate against society and seek death, as long as we have the ability to occupy a complete shelter, the daily facilities that maintain the operation of this shelter will never stop working."

"Yes, although the master will terminate the daily dispatch and material allocation of the refuge, the rebels can still hold on for a long time with the inventory inside the refuge..." No. 3 nodded thoughtfully.

"No. 3, before departure, you have already recited all the structural drawings of Sanctuary No. 444. How many garbage disposal facilities are there in this shelter?" Qi Lin suddenly looked at No. 3 - No. 3, which is No. 4 in Qi Lin's team before. He was the only architect among the five. He had a natural sensitivity to things like architectural drawings, so Qi Lin also handed over all these tasks to him.

“This is the only place.”

"The problem is more serious than we imagined...Sanctuary No. 444, as the headquarters of the Edas Consortium, has a permanent population of more than 100,000 people. The excrement and waste produced by these more than 100,000 people will be a huge number just by eating, drinking, defecation and scattering every day. Even if they can be recycled and reused, the proportion will definitely not reach 100%..."

"To be precise, the average data of waste recycling rates in each shelter is around 61%, and Sanctuary No. 444 is slightly higher than the average, between 68.5% and 69%. " No. 4 interrupted.

"Even if it is 70%, then the remaining 30% of garbage without any recycling value is conservatively estimated to be more than ten tons. If this garbage cannot be processed in time, over time, the living environment in the shelter will deteriorate rapidly..." Qi Lin said with a serious expression.

"This kind of stupid thing can only be done by the ancient uncultured and illiterate leader of the Gangname Uprising. According to the information we have obtained, the leader of the rebels was a senior figure in the Edas Consortium. His purpose was to seize power. What he wanted was a complete refuge No. 444, rather than a large cemetery marked No. 444."

"But... the organization should also understand something, so why don't they tell us directly?" The Falcon squatted on the ground, frowned, and his thumb kept rubbing the grip of the Gauss pistol.

After all, this secret passage was told by the organization. Since this is the case, the organization must have known that the only garbage disposal plant in the Shelter No. 444 stopped working. The information that these five people could analyze was also analyzed by the people within the organization, and even more detailed and comprehensive. The daily amount of garbage accumulation can be accurate to kilograms, and there will be no large errors.

This situation is very abnormal and very abnormal.

"Maybe I think it's useless to tell us? After all, our mission is just to rescue hostages. What the rebels want to do has nothing to do with us." No. 5 shrugged.

"I'm afraid it's not that simple... No. 4, can you try to invade the intelligent brain of Sanctuary 444? Maybe we can find something else."

"The main brain should have cut off all connections with Shelter No. 444. The smart brain that controls the shelter is now in a locked state. It is very difficult to invade a locked system... I can give it a try, but first we have to find a smart brain terminal."

"Is that kind of terminal for resource point transactions OK?"

"Everything is OK, as long as it is a device connected to the shelter smart brain."

"That should be easy to find... Maybe there are some nearby." Qi Lin nodded.

Just as they were about to leave here, a stumbled figure suddenly appeared in their field of vision. The figure bounced open the guardrail outside the garbage disposal plant and walked straight towards the five people.

The guardrail is welded with hollow steel pipes. Although the strength can only be considered average, it requires considerable strength to directly break it.

What's more, this man was dragging a long-handled fire axe in his hand, and the axe blade was covered with blood that had not yet dried up.

The visitor was not good, No. 5 had already picked up the srs sniper rifle equipped with a silencer and aimed at the other party's head.

"Don't kill him, shoot his calves, we need a living mouth." Qi Lin said to him No. 5.

"No problem, I always point and hit it—"

"Bang!"
